Retro365 | Noctropolis - Electronic Arts, 1994 - IBM PC (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
A playthrough of Flashpoint Productions' Noctropolis, published by Electronic Arts in 1994 for the IBM PC.
Peter Grey is a lonely bookstore owner, on the verge of bankruptcy, and a huge fan of the "Darksheer" comic book series, a Batman-esque superhero. Darksheer, together with his partner Stiletto, a former supervillain converted to good, is the sworn protector of Noctropolis, a city where it's always nighttime as the result of an environmental catastrophe that occurred a century earlier.
One night, as Peter is leafing through the newest issue of "Darksheer", a courier brings him a package that eventually transports him into the city of Noctropolis, where he has to take the role of Darksheer himself. Coincidentally enough, his arrival as Darksheer occurs at the same time as five of the superhero's deadliest arch-villains decide to gang up on him after they are mysteriously released from incarceration. It turns out that the real Darksheer had disappeared several weeks prior to Peter's arrival. It's up to the unlikely hero to find out who released the criminals, while simultaneously trying to keep them from wreaking havoc across the city of Noctropolis - and maybe, in the process, find a way back to the real world.
